Hi. There is bug which isn't fixed for a long time - when you have opened two (or more) files into IDE, go to the first one, select some part of text, and then, after switching to second file, with a high probability when you will start to edit this file, the first file (where the selection is) will be changed!  |

Perhaps you could give more detail? I use VS constantly, with VA installed. I nearly always have more than one file opened in different windows. I have not noticed the problem as you describe it.
One thing: are you saying that the text in the first file (which had something highlighted) is changed, or just that the selection extents are changed/lost?

| One small example which can explain a bit more: let we have opened files: .h file will class declaration, and .cpp file with implementation (I'm using tabbed interface; VS.NET 2003). Now we going to .h file, select some function, press Ctrl+C, then switch to .cpp file, insert copied line into this file, and now very offten when I start typing into .cpp file, this typing appears into .h file (file is modified) (and in most cases, it doesn't switch window). |

Sounds like 2843. I haven't seen it for a long time though — are you seeing it in the latest version?
There is a similar bug about jumping around within one file. I don't know whether it's actually the same bug or not, but that still seems to get mentioned occasionally, though much less often than it did some weeks ago. |

| Oh, sorry, I just realised that 2843 is in the Private Beta forum. But I don't think there's any additional information there. |

if you are often highlighting a single line to copy between files then you can press CTRL_C without anything highlighted to copy the current line.
this might help to work around at least some of the problem, and save you a small amount of typing as well 
do you have any other plugin's installed? anything else special or odd about your machine? |

How do you "switch to .cpp file?"
Does editing return to your new window automatically, or do you need to do something to make it happen? |

Nothing special about my machine (XP SP2, 1Gb RAM, PIV 2.6GHz; the rest isn't important, I think), but maybe used portrait mode can cause this?
about method of switching between files: I'm clicking on corresponding tab header, or using "Open &Corresponding .h or .cpp" button on toolbar. |
